Slxin Of convict.

The Kingston Freeman tells the
following story, evidently without
straining its conscience in theleast:
Edward Pullen, a young man about
twenty-three years of age, is a Jersey
man. At present he languishes in the
Ulster county jail in Kingston. Re.
corder Hussey sent him there for ten
days. Pullen drank of his native
~applejack, became intoxicated and
was arrested by Jailer Isaac Carman.
Pullen is q puzzle, and does some
wonderful things. Besides being a
good sleight-of-hand performer, he
does other things that are astonishing.
Before being taken from the city hall
for the Jail Pullen, in the presence OF
Alderman e. 0'Reilly, Jaiier Carman,
officer Smith and a reporter OF the
Freeman, gave an exhibition OF his
skill, or whatever it may be called.
He first showed his audience q piece of
slightly-bent wire about ones and ahalf-
inches in length and about q sixteenth
OF an inch thick. One end OF this wire
he inserted into one corner OF his right
eye and told any one IN n party TO
shove on the other end. No one re.
sponded, SO Pullen did it himself. The
wire disappeared from sight. He
trace one finger along in his cheek un-
til it reached his mouth, when he
took it away. He then dropped the
wire out OF his mouth. Pnllen next
put the wire in the corner OF his left
eye, ran it along under the skin up to
and across the forehea and tcokito out
of his right eye. Pullen's next feat
was to take a piece OF iron about four
inches long from his pocket, stick one
endo Of it in his nostrH andsnuffit out OF
sight into his head, as he said. Wheth.
er the iron really did go as far as his
head or not can only be conjectured,
but that it went out OF sight is GER
tain. After shaking his head and low
ering it several times the iron made
its appearance, and hepulled 1t out Of
his nose. Pullen's last act was to
pass his hat around for contribu-
ticns. Jailer Carman said that he
did not know whether he could keep
Pullen in jail or not.

-Four years ago the Kaiser last RI
f5Wv on n-OTseDacK. ne was 80 on
the 22d Of March, and the following

Alexander at the review. Won Moltke
was also mounted that day, and the
Crown Prince, who was then inrobust

good works. He resembles his mother
more, but is said to be intensely Ger

exceedingly well, though having but
little use OF his left arm and depend
ing almost entirely upon the right.
Won Moltke sat with his lace to-
ward the troops, not once leaving his
carriage. which was drawn up very
near the Emperor and just back Of
the Empress. He was absorbed inthe
field, and seemed oblivious to all else.
The Emperor, too, gave his whole at

all formal dinners and parties are

An OLD-FAsHroSED 4

.H#.U.#4 UH-ENN -~@--=
From the Century.
Old-fashioned? Yes, I must confess
The antique pattern Of her dress,
The ancient irills and furbelows,
The faded ribbons and the bows.
Why she should show those shrunken
That wrinckled neck, those tawny arms.
! can net guess; her russell gown
Round her spare form hangs loosely down,
Her voice is thin and cracked; her eye
And smile have lost their witchery.
By those faint iests, that tagging wit,
BY each a~ttenuated curl.
She surely is, I must admit,
An odd old.iashioned girl.
IT'S long, long since she had a beau,
And o with those who set arrow.
Along the wall she takes her place,
With something OF the old-time grace,
She yearns to join the Macy waltz,
And shyly shifts her s~melling-sults.
All, many an angel in disguise
May walk before our human eyes;
Where'er the fever-smitten lie
In grimy hauuts OF poverty,
Along the dark and squalia street,
MID drunken iests OF boor and churl,
She goes with swift and plying feet
This same oid-fashioned girl.
